Loui Loui and the Twins.

Too many penalties...
About time $20M tied up in the 3 of them. They should do this 60% of the time.

About time!
Well, yeah. They're finally playing a team that isn't overly fast and likes to play the same grinding, half-court possession game. Still going to win those battles most nights as long as they can keep the puck.

Chill Reefster. You keep acting like it's YOUR money. $14mil off the books after this season.

How many top-end players live up to their long-term contracts in their late 30's? But they earned that contract. That's professional sports, man.

If they can perform like that with 14 minutes a game at their age, you'd all still complain. Maybe give Jake and actual offensive-minded players the minutes that Green gives to Sutter, Dorsett & Gaunce and we'd get some more goals. Shit, that makes too much sense.

Have we seen enough of Jake Virtanen where we can now label him a bust?

2 to 2 after 2

Enjoyed watching Biega putting Kopitar on his ass !
Sutter, Dorsett line doing a good job defensively..
Elder looks slow tonight..

Looking for a great 3rd period ...

Lol, like it’s my money? What does that have to do with it.

Yes the Sedin earned their money, LE has done jack shit to earn his. The problem is that they take a large % of the cap.

Then you go on about Jake and that I agree with you. Green suffers from “blame the young guy for every thinitis”

Lol, are you drunk again?

You realize he isn’t playing right?

Green is using him as a whipping boy for no reason other than he is the coach and won’t hold the vets accountable.

Eriksson earned his contract with the Bruins.

Look, man. Just enjoy the process.

LE earned his free agent contract due to his overall resume. I AGREE with you, it's bad for THIS team at THIS stage. But the owner is ok with spending the money for an amount of certainty. How many Megnas & Chaputs can you scrape up?

The cap doesn't concern us this year. Hopefully LE gets back to his level enough that we can somehow get some value back for him. I don't want to see him play out his contract in Vancouver either.

Yeah, I just don't get the Jake thing either.

Nice save Nilsson!

Thanks for the icing Edler. Fails the eye-test every single game, but I'm sure his fancy stats are good.

I think we can forgive Nilsson for that first goal now, but DAMN I wish we would stop spotting teams a goal every game.
